those 2 pics were taken 2 weeks apart from each other, my stats at that time well i was 168lbs, im 5'9. Currently im 175lbs, i am even more cut up, im ready for comp but i don't compete. I follow a very strict diet and train everyday, i know that i should have rest days but i just can't. I also run eod and ride the bike twice a week. Im taking in 2900 cals a day, My first meal is at 6am and my last meal is at 8pm. I have 6 solid meals a day plus my post workout shake and a shake before bed.

No bro, just natural, i was using tribulus but stopped cos it made me break out on my back, and u do use E/C/A... But bro ive been like this since 1998, im 31 years old. And in 5 years ive probably ever had 5 cheat meals...

Originally posted by DarCSA Great work man. I see by reading this that fitness, nutrition, and training are not a hobby to you but a lifestyle. Keep it up man.

Thanks bro... Anyone can do it, just got to put in that extra work and make some sacrifices with food.. I never crave junk food. I actually crave the food i eat even if it is tasteless and dry, no one else likes it when i cook, but thats a good thing cos then all the protien is for me

thats great man. obviously it takes work and dedication however i think a lot of people overanalyze how to get/stay fit, whatever their goals might be. im sure theres a hand full of people out there, wondering why they cant lose weight, or get big but not eating well and/or enough, only focusing on 1 or 2 aspects of overall health, neglecting nutrition, rest etc. Sage

Well i have my buddy here in the U.S, im staying at his place(im from Australia but here on vacation), anyway ive been trying to help him out, i mean he has improved and he actually asked me to send a post in about some cycle he wants to do. He's hellsent about hitting a cycle and im trying to convince him not to.. Anyways i keep track of everything i eat i write it down with the amount of calories, even if i eat 1 strawberry i will write it down. Anyways so he said that he wanted to start doing that aswell, so i started him off yesterday, ive got him on a good diet. Well what does he do, he eats without telling me so i dont write down his cals, its like hello im trying to help you out here.. Then he turns and says what even if i eat a bannana i gotta write it down and i said yes.. He is killing me slowly, i cant wait till after the arnold classic to get the **** out of Cleveland... Sorry for my bitching guys, but ive taken as much as i can and i cant handle him anymore... He even makes noises when he eats.. I can go on for ever but i'll stop here..

Originally posted by Biggin lol yeah it's hard bro, can't change somebody from the outside in, gotta be their choice and it's gotta be for real... tell him he ain't ready and get the hell out!

Ive been up since 5.30am and now its midday and im already having my 3rd meal. He is still sleeping, he tells me to wake him and i try but he dont get up... We have treadmills and excercise bikes in the building, im dying to go for a jog , the problem is that if he or his brother aint with me im not allowed to use the gym... And they both want to get in shape yet they slip till 2pm, have 2-3 meals a day and complain that they aint growing.. They think by drinking a few protein shakes and taking some vitamins there gonna be monsters... **** me

Originally posted by LakeMountD hey what does your chest routine look like? very impressive bro..

Bro the usual stuff, i do 5 excercises, for chest, 1 week i start with flat bench as my first excercise the next week i start with incline and swap them around every week, also do incline flys, cable crossovers, then superset dips with dumbbell pullovers... I train for a month with heavy weights down to light E.g maximum weight for 3-4 reps and work my way down in weight with higher reps, then the next month i do the opposite.. it works well for me.. There are times that i start of with pecdec as my first excercise, it really shocks the muscle and gives me a good pump..

Originally posted by LakeMountD 5 cheat meals in 5 years?!? how in the hell do you keep your caloric intake high without getting any fat like that..

Bro have you heard of a George Foreman Griller?? Well that goes with me everywere i go. And alot of the times when i am travelling i will prepare my chicken and take it with me on the plane. My vege's are always eaten raw.. E.G broccoli, asparagus, spinach...

LOL... Bro i eat anything i can get my hands on... I find eating vege raw gets you full, that way you can always stay intact with your calorie intake. Nothing worse than finishing your meal and still feeling hungry. Thats were the vege helps out with lots of water afterwards.. It works for me anyway..
